A spectacular view of the keep. Notice one whole side of the keep is missing... this was destroyed by Parliamentarian forces during the English Civil War, a result of continuous cannon fire.

Kenilworth was protected on three sides by a man-made sea, known as a 'mere'. This stretched at it's greatest extent over 1 1/4 miles and was formed by damming a small river. The flat ground surrounding the castle soon flooded. This photo shows the outer curtain wall and the mere, now no longer, would have almost reached this area.
